2016 Mason County Animal Shelter Point Pleasant West Virginia - Animals GET THREE WEEKS.

Please save a life! Daily Updates.
"We are a high intake county shelter and need rescue help! Our county commission limits us to 40 dogs and 36 cats max! We are NOT a no-kill shelter! Without LOTS of rescue help and adoptions, it will be IMPOSSIBLE for us to maintain the population at this level without euthanizing."

Amazing Cats- Some Babies VERY URGENT. Please help these cats. Their lives have value. What is AC to do if no one comes for them and they are all sponsored? Hear this rescues. They are loving and have done nothing wrong. It is because of people that they are at a kill shelter. They are cats not criminals. Cats add love and joy to our lives and look what is done to them.

3/14/13 - Manchester terrier dog in Colchester, CT - LIVING IN CAR

3/14/13 Manchester terrier dog in Colchester, CT Living in Car

"

This little guy's family is being evicted from their apartment .... actually they were evicted last night. The dog is now staying in the car. He has nowhere to go.

I was told he is 3 years of age. He is fearful and skittish. He is not neutered or up to date on vaccinations as the family claims they had no money to take him to the vet. He is fearful of men. He has no socialization so they don't think he is good with other dogs. He has never seen a cat.

He is good with the children in the family.

Anyone want to give him a chance ? Contact Delette at Ruff and Scratchy, Inc. and I will give you the number of the owner. 203-464-2457 is Delette's cell number and email is ruffandscratchy@gmail.com.''

3/5/15 Some Cats and Dogs Are Gassed at Shelters. Others Given Lethal Injections. Watch Videos.

12/6/12 Generosity Needed

Shelters, fosters, rescues, transporters deserve our utmost respect and support. They do what former owners could not do or decided not to do for a variety of reasons: give care and love and safety to an animal and the opportunity for a new life. These people are doing a job for all of us. They have to constantly ask for help. The animals depend on them. Without them there would be even more homeless stray animals wandering the streets suffering and dying. Without them there would be no chance for these dogs and cats. Without them where would the dog or cat go when it was no longer wanted or when there was no money to feed the animal or provide medical care? Please be generous this holiday season with a donation or your time and volunteer.

Each year, over $250 million dollars is spent housing and euthanizing homeless dogs and cats in California1. Approximately 1 million dogs and cats enter California’s shelters each year, and over half of them are euthanized (killed) simply because there are not enough homes2."

"Extremely urgent ! Bonnie & Clyde need a home now ! Bonnie is extremely stressed out living the shelter life. Bonded couple, Bonnie and Clyde are 7+ years old and have found themselves stuck in a shelter. They appear to be brother and sister. Clyde is very dependant on Bonnie and they must be adopted together. Bonnie is deteriorating and is in desperate need of a home. They are hound / cattle dog mixes. Clyde is a funny guy and is somewhat of a clown. Bonnie is the more serious of the two and is motherly to her brother Clyde. They are both friendly and loving dogs. They are good driving in a car. They are spayed and neutered, up to date on vaccinations and house trained. They love people and are wonderful with kids. Please, all they are asking for is some love and a nice cushy couch to lay on. Time is of the essence. Bonnie will not last much longer in a kennel....she needs love , companionship and a warm happy home. Senior dogs are the best and Bonnie and Clyde would be so thankful and give you all their love ! Clyde guarantees he will make you laugh every day (just look at his picture giving the high five). Bonnie is a lovebug and would love to prove it to you.

In the form of THIS handsome boy? Eight-year-old Snow was left at the shelter by his owner. He was left with a note saying goodbye. His owner moved to a new home that would not accept pets so she left him outside the shelter. He is a quiet old boy that enjoys the company of people. He is strong on a leash, knows some commands and enjoys running and rolling in the grass. Snow also does well with other dogs. You can also see Snow's video at www.youtube.com/fotnhas The New Haven Animal Shelter is open Monday through Saturday 12:30-4:30, so go meet him! By: Laura King

Millie

ClicPic toSee Video of Tillie

We need to get Millie and Tillie out of the shelter now. Here is some information about these two sweet little ladies : from volunteer Jeannie - "These two girls are so adorable! I had them at my house overnight so they could come to an event the next day. They came right in and saw the crate I set up for them and both just walked right in on their own and got in their bed. They are both house trained and though Millie never seems to speak at all. Tillie barks a little when excited but quickly quiets down. They both need to be adopted together because they are very attached and would be lost without each other.Of the two Millie seems to take the lead and Tillie follows. They were both great getting their baths and being blown dry. These little ladies are wonderful companions for anyone looking for 2 little lap dogs with a lot of love to give.A home with an older person or couple would be ideal. They love everyone but are a bit fragile for rambunctious children".

"13-year-old Tillie and her sister Millie were left in front of our door in a miserable broken crate and dirty sheets.Both of these girls have a lot of get up and go and love be held. Tillie was very much underweight and we found that her sister eats her food before she can finish, so they have to be separated during feeding time. Both girls had their blood tests done and no abnormalities were found. They would love to stay together but can be separated if needed. You can also see Tillie's video at www.youtube.com/fotnhas .

Millie and Tillie are at the New Haven Animal Shelter in New Haven, CT. Contact Delette Corwel at 203-464-2457 or poomeister@hotmail.com to help Millie and Tillie. Transportation can be arranged for rescues in Connecticut. Please share and crosspost so that we can get these two girls out of the cold shelter and into a warm loving home or at least foster home. Thank you." from Delette Corwel

She is just a little thing and so adorable. They were trying to get her out of there before having her puppies but she had them bright and early this morning - 8 of them. She's a very good little mommy, trying to hide all of her offspring, knowing they are in so much danger. Can you imagine!!!??? Please, if anyone can help her, don't hesitate to call there.

More about Vanessa in KY from FB Post See her pic at end of text.

This is Vanessa- Hard Luck Girl! Life is unfair to many dogs but her is a girl that just can't seem to get a break. The early years of her life she has roamed and been neglected. As an unwanted dog she became pregnant and was dumped in McLean County with a...nother pregnant female dog. They both had their pups, alone in a barn,. The other mother dog took her puppies from her and she suffered alone and unable to nurse her pups. Since the other mamma had claimed the pups, Vanessa was taken from them. Her status now is this: black labrador retriever mix, thin, just had pups, unclaimed, unwanted, you know the story. could life have dealt this dog a worse hand. We want to make a difference and turn Vanessa's fate around. she has the personality to meld right into the perfect family. she seems to get along great with other dogs too. Her disposition lends itself to learning everything it takes to be a wonderful companion. It only takes one loving heart to make a difference in her life. Please give Vanessa your consideration. Shelter dogs have a strong bond with their adopters. They know who saved them. The adoption fee covers the spay/neuter surgery & rabies vaccination. NOTICE: When calling the animal shelter, PLEASE leave a message (with call back number) if you wish for us to call you back.

3/6/10 Lots of Nice Dogs and Cats Put Down Due to Lack of Adopters and Rescues

Poll Results 10/18/09

The poll went wacky and deleted numerical results so I started a new poll today 10/18/09. If I recall in the last 2 years 30 dogs ( I know of) and cats were adopted, rescued and fostered after people saw their pictures on this blog. Many people prayed and helped by crossposting, donating time or money, wrote to rescues and half a dozen people helped with transport. Please send this link to any animal lovers. Let's all keep helping shelter pets.

12/01/09 Pets of Soldiers going to Iraq and Afghanistan Being Dumped in Great Numbers.

"You will find some dogs on this listing who have been at AC longer than they were supposed to. It is not a miracle that they are still there... It is due to the fact that the RESCUE has the task of letting Animal Control officers know which ones "can" be euthanized when space runs out. Yes, that decision has to be made by people who want to see everyone of the adoptable dogs and cats leave and who takes this extra hard... Then again, we appreciate that they now allow us to do this because we know best which ones have more chances than some of the others there. This morning was the end for many and so very hard on all of us; therefore, I am praying that this listing will reach the right people so that next week will be easier. Our area has been hit hard with deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan and so many military families have abandoned their pets. With less families in the area, that also means hardly any adoptions. Please help us!!!"

"Who We Are
We also have a virtual group of volunteers, as well as a few locals, who have banned together in attempts of saving the dogs from the local dog shelters and other animals.
Due to the economy, and other reasons, we are seeing many owner surrenders which we can keep out of the dog pounds, in general. We only have limited kennel space which was intended as a temporary hold for dogs pulled from the pound being vetted and transported. Now we must use them to house some dogs indefintely, just to save their lives. We need a shelter, we need more kennels, It is our goal to move the animals out of temporary holding to rescues or their "furever" homes as quickly as possible.

Who to Contact to Help the Animals

If you are interested in an animal, please e-mail the names on the post and or contact the shelter. If the links don't work, sometimes this happens, please google the shelter to get the correct e-mail. If that fails you can send me an e-mail at happinessis79(at)yahoo(dot)com. I check this once a week.

If a Petfinder listing is removed it can mean the animal was rescued or adopted or euthanized. If you are interested in the animal, don't think the worst. You can contact the shelter. If the animal was rescued and you are interested in adoption, you may be able to find out the name of the rescue through the shelter. Ask for the shelter manager or animal control officer if you call.

Owners Moving Can't Take Dog -See Why Often Pet is Euthed.

Sam was a friendly 6 month old puppy. Reason for euthanasia: Behavior, not aggressive behavior that you and I might think would make a dog unadoptable, but rather because 6-month-old puppy Sam was getting "depressed" in the shelter environment. Sasha was surrendered to the shelter as a healthy 1.5 year old when her owners moved to an apartment that did not allow dogs. Like many dogs, within days of arriving at the shelter Sasha developed a runny nose and cough, common signs of an upper respiratory infection that makes so many shelter dogs sick. Reason for Sasha's death: Medical.
